   On my home page I show 10 posts out of 40. My problem is that the next and previous buttons are not showing below the last post. This is the same for when i view posts by category.

   The code i have is
   

   <div class="navigation">
   	<div class="alignleft"><?php previous_post(); ?></div>
   	<div class="alignright"><?php next_post(); ?></div>
   </div>

   I have also tried
   

   <div class="navigation">
           <div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Posts') ?></div>
   	<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Next Posts &raquo;') ?></div>
   </div>

   I did read somewhere that this may be a permalink issue. My set up is
   /%category%/%postname%/

   Anyone have any ideas, suggestions, plugins?

   Thanks.

   Since you didn't give a URL I can't look to see if this is what your problem is also, but you might try the fix here:

   My css is correct as stated in the link and still not working.

   Are you sure you dont have it set for more than 10 posts on the front page? Because in your source code is:

   <div class="navigation">
   <div class="alignleft"></div>
   <div class="alignright"></div>
   </div>

   which means that the correct code is there, but there aren't enough posts showing to make the previous and next links appear.

   Got any plugins running that set the number of posts per page?

   Admin says
   

   Blog pages show at most (10)

   I have no plugins that modify this that i know of.

    Use posts_nav_link on index, category and archive pages:

    <?php posts_nav_link(); ?>

    Here's info on how to customize its display:

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/posts_nav_link

    Also, read example 3 here if you are using query_posts.

    how to i know if im using
    

    query_posts

    So far using
    

    <?php posts_nav_link(); ?>

    is not working. I have tried this before with failure.

    I found this line
    

    if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();

    then added above it
    

    query_posts($query_string.'&posts_per_page=-1');

    and nothing changed.

    Hi,

    As per the codex http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/previous_post_link you have to put <?php previous_post_link() ?> instead of <?php previous_posts_link() ?> if you want to display only the one post. However, I use this
    

    <?php $postslist = get_posts('numberposts=1&offset=1'); foreach ($postslist as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
     								</div>

    Then used this
    <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>Here is an image</a>
